Illuminate: Gaelyn Rae Emerson - Staying resilient when your husband relapses - Episode 56

illuminate podcast Apr 09, 2020

The uncertainty of a potential relapse often leaves betrayed women anxious and tense. They wonder when the next betrayal will happen and how they'll respond. Even though there is no way to predict the future, my guest in this episode, Gaelyn Rae Emerson, says that women can prepare themselves and develop resilience in the face of future relapses, regardless of what happens to their relationship. In this episode we discuss: 

- The definition of relapse preparedness and what caused her to start thinking about relapse preparedness. 

- Some of the feelings women commonly express in the aftermath of a relapse.

- What she says to women who worry that “preparing” for a relapse is giving him permission to do it.  

- Mistakes women sometimes make when approaching the idea of relapse preparedness. 

- What to do when thinking about a relapse triggers anxiety and trauma. 

- Who benefits most from Relapse Preparedness Planning?
